<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
<dd><p>This function returns information about a file. No permissions are required on 
the file itself, but execute (search) permission is required on all of the 
directories in path that lead to the file.
</p>
<p>The elements that are obtained and stored in the array <code>VALUES</code>:
</p><table>
<tr><td width="15%"><code>VALUES(1)</code></td><td width="70%">Device ID</td></tr>
<tr><td width="15%"><code>VALUES(2)</code></td><td width="70%">Inode number</td></tr>
<tr><td width="15%"><code>VALUES(3)</code></td><td width="70%">File mode</td></tr>
<tr><td width="15%"><code>VALUES(4)</code></td><td width="70%">Number of links</td></tr>

<tr><td width="15%"><code>VALUES(11)</code></td><td width="70%">Last file status change time</td></tr>

<p>Not all these elements are relevant on all systems. 
If an element is not relevant, it is returned as 0.

<p>This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however,
only one form can be used in any given program unit.
